Hi,
I am not sure which version introduced that feature (it's definitely in the testing and experimental branches, could still be missing in stable):
In newer EigenD versions just
* open your plugin
* click to "Configure" in the upper left corner
* a dialog pops up

Now it depends how you control your synthesizer parameters.
* If it works with parameter modulation: then use the "Plugin parameters" matrix, otherwise there is a "Midi CC Messages" matrix.
In either way the following receipe should get you going:
- click on the matrix entry that matches the parameter mapping you want to edit (e.g. Param10<--Breath)
- there you can adapt the bounds as desired (Low and High value and Base value) as well as the "Always return to origin" flag - if you disable that then the modulated value will not jump back to the "base" value when you release the key.

For older EigenD versions you have to do some Belcanto voodoo, would have to investigate myself how to do that - someone from the dev team can presumably give you a description just from memory :)

P.S.: At least the "testing" release is already rather stable, did not find a disadvantage compared to "stable". (Experimental can be more on the bleeding edge). And you can always install several versions in parallel and jump back and forth.

P.P.S.: Unfortunately we don't have access to the Workbench yet, but some info about the setup can be gained from looking into Stage with some guesswork. Presumably there are some rangers between the keyboard agent and audio unit 1 (http://www.eigenlabs.com/wiki/1.3/Ranger/) that are still not mentioned in the pico setup description (http://www.eigenlabs.com/wiki/Factory_Pico_1/) . On first sight setting the "sticky" parameter of the "global inverted breath ranger" might do the trick for breath control - did not try it out though. That would be activated by entering

global inverted breath ranger hey sticky set

into the EigenCommander. Trial and error...

Hi,
i've tried with EigenD 1.3.22. Problem is quite different. When i release for example the strip the value of the parameter do not return to the lowest value but to the initial value. It's the same using Pluggin Parameter or Midi CC change. I've read on the forum that when strip controler or breathpipe for example are released a message is send who brings the value to the initial position.
Perhaps is it possible to disable this ?
I will take a look to the seminar.

Sorry if it's not clear enough, I'm French and my English isn't very technic.
Thanks

Stéphane.

I think, unfortunatly that what i'd like to do with an eigenharp instrument isn't possible. I own a hardware synth : when i play i can turn the knob for the filter and open it. When my hand leave the knob the value stay the same.
With the Eigenharp as a controller this isn't possible : when i leave my hand of the strip the value return to is original value or to the base value in the matrix parameters.

So you can't play a virtual synth with a soft and continue modulation of a parameter (filter for example).

I have dreamed that the Eigenharp would allow to play polyphonics soft or hard synth withs 3 or 4 parameters controlled in real time by the super sentives keys, strip controller and breath pipe to create and control delicates, sensitives,complexes modulated and evolutionarys sounds.

But it's not possible, cause the parameters always returns to the initial value when you leave the controller :-(
And this possibility was the principal reason of dreaming about an Alpha
The dream is it over?

Always return to origin is disabled.
I'm not so expert in midi control so I have to learn about the filtering of CC.

Thanks,
Stéphane
